A marine craft includes a floating body, elements adapted to generate a center-board
effect, in particular a center-board projecting beneath the floating body, and
a rigging. The rigging includes at least a directional kite forming a canopy and
a series of sheets controlling the canopy linked to the craft, the series of sheets
including a main sheet and two directional sheets, and a substantially punctiform
member for guiding the main sheet and for applying tractive force of the sheet
on the craft. The rigging further includes elements for spatial orientation of
the axis of the resultant elements the tractive force exerted by the rigging on
the craft so as to almost completely eliminate the list whatever the moving speed
of the craft and with the guiding and force-applying member located above the water level.
